I have a breast lump. Is it cancer?
More than 80% of breast lumps are not cancer. It is important however to recognize when it may be cancer. Look for some of these accompanying tell tale signs:
- hardness of the lump
- accompanying dimpling or puckering of the skin
- redness or darkening of the skin
- a recent change in the shape or the size of the breast
- new nipple discharge
- pulling in of the nipple
- sore or rash on the nipple
Even with these changes, it may not turn out to be cancer. However the converse is also true, you may have a lump with none of these changes and it may turn out to be cancer. So, it is always prudent decision to seek medical attention when you discover a new lump in your breast.
